I finally finished up the figure I had planned for the SB Redux GP.

This is my Cobra B.A.A.T. I have two different version heads, but I think I have decided on the Star Viper head rather than the 25th BAT head (I think it is too pin-headish, plus it was not sitting fully on during the photo...).

It is just a Hulkbuster figure with a cast ROC Star Viper head on it. gun was from one of the ROC figures.

lmk what you think, R

Nice paint apps. I like the Star Viper helmet choice. It fits nicely.

That is awesome. Is the Star Viper helmet a Helmet for the BAT. I know, why does a robot need a helmet. Well, it is still metal and circuits and maybe not the best for going out into space. Man I like this custom a lot.

No. The Star Viper cast is just a head. Though a helmet over the regular BAT head does sound kind of awesome. I may steal that idea.

Fantastic idea, just needs more classic BAT colors IMO.

Great representation of the original updated. How frustrating was it to get full coverage on all that white?

I'll start with the one thing I don't like, which is the toe on the armor, but that was there from the source figure. It looks more like matching cracks in the feet to me. I'm sure I'm the only one that it bothers but I want to be honest about both good and bad. Now the good, the white is perfect, and the Star viper head I think is perfect. Overall I think it rocks.

Thanks for the feedback. I had not noticed the toes until you pointed them out.....and I am in agreement with you. I may try some green stuff filler before I repurpose the base body for a new custom

I am pretty proud of the star viper head, it was a pain in the rear end to cast (stupid hoses) but I think it makes for a good approximation of the original BAAT head.

NICE WHITE. I like the helmet as a head. It works nicely.

Great work. I love the Star Brigade stuff and this is a great representation of the original BAAT.
